Wii was there to save the day. It was an affordable console marketed toward everyone from kids to grandmas.

I think the big question here is that since Wii U isn't selling well, what will pick up the slack? PS4 or XBox 720? It's tough predict since both of these will be about $500. Maybe none of them will. The industry will be kept afloat by PS3 and 360 for a few more years until the others become affordable.

Didn't you forget anyone on your post? hint: starts with W and ends with U

No, I didn't forget anything. From the looks of things, Wii U will be another Gamecube. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

I see PS3 + 360 being touch competition for Wii U since they both have massive libraries and a cheaper price tag. These will stay on the shelves for a few more years and by the time they're not, PS4/720 will be affordable to the masses. I really don't see how Wii U can compete with current-gen consoles. let alone next-gen ones. Nintendo has a lot of convincing to do.
